We wish everyone a great summer!

Greetings from a sunny and warm Norway! We are enjoying some well deserved holidays, so these next few weeks we will be a little bit less active on the blog. Anyway, today you can see how creative we have been in the garden, as we are building a brand ne – all suites – insect hotel!

Enjoy!

Thank you guys I wish you happy holidays too. Hope Freya enjoys her holiday. I will be driving around Norwich England in my jalopy (my mobility scooter) as can’t travel any more. Have a great time what ever you do. Be safe and take care of each other. Sending you much love 😍 xx

Happy summer to you too! Enjoy life together every day and be happy. I hope your guesthouse for insects will become as famous as you two are, so there will be many more build in many gardens. Bye from chilly Netherlands.

How wonderful! I really enjoy your videos as they are so much fun and always so interesting. I learn something new each time and always feel light hearted on viewing your videos. Your joyous energy and humour is infectious. Have a lovely summer! I am sure the insects and bees will appreciate their 5 star accomodation!

I have recently started watching your videos and listening to your podcasts. I must say I love them. You are both so relatable (Arne, you are adorable in an aww shucks kind of way). I am hoping to learn the Norwegian technique of knitting. I’ve been trying but old habits die hard. You both (and Freya of course) have a wonderful relaxing holiday away from your beautiful home and gardens. I hope someday to meet you, maybe on a fabulous Norwegian knitting cruise ( major hint to hubby). Take care.

Love your video on the “Insect Hotel” idea. I burst out laughing at the presentation on the accommodations . Love seeing your country it’s so beautiful and of course I’m here for the knitting and crocheting info You guys are great!

I am a beginner knitter and want to knit your Vidar & Vigard Jumpers. I am between sizes and was wondering how much ease is in this pattern.
Also, I love the checkered socks featured in your reinforced heel pattern. Do you know where I can get the checkered sock pattern?
